I have noticed something strange. Usually when a promote an article, it does acquire readers...even if it is a small amount of readers. I have never experienced where the number for readers of an article did not change at all for a few days. It mathematically makes no sense. What is going on with hubpages? I can't help but wonder if their system is not even registering or calibrating the correct number of readers for our articles.
Sometimes traffic stats are delayed. Don't worry, they will update.
Something seems to be wonky. Over the last couple of weeks, traffic has gone through some wild gyrations - 1,200 one day, 800 the next, back up to 1,100, and then back to 700. Strangely, earnings don't move much from their pathetic level in tune with views.
That is peculiar! I am seriously wondering if their computers are making inaccuracies.
Matt says it's a glitch with the stats reporting.
I don't appear to have had the issue. My views have been consistently low.
Every writer on hubpages is seriously affect with a low view.
